(i) C 1 (ii) 48 an answer of 4 800 gains 1 mark if answer (b)(i) is given as A then 42 scores 1 mark 4200 scores 0 marks substitution of correct figures = 1 mark 2 [3] M10. (a) Z 1 weight or mass acts through pivot accept rod or base for pivot accept centre of gravity in line with pivot 1 no (resultant) (turning) moment accept clockwise moment equals anticlockwise moment do not accept same weight on each side of rod 1 Page 37 of 45 (b) (i) 30 allow 1 mark for 2 or 2 15 0.15 2 N cm or for full credit the unit must be consistent with the numerical answer 0.3 Nm do not accept joules 1 (ii) 1.5 (N) allow 1 mark for correct transformation allow 2 marks ecf their part (b)(i)/20 (ecf only if correct physics) 2 (c) 5 (cm) allow 1 mark for 6.0 (cm) allow 1 mark for a subtraction of 1 from a value clearly obtained from the graph allow 2 marks for correct ecf using an incorrect value for (b)(i) 0.2cm allow 1 mark for clearly showing correct use of graph using an incorrect value for (b)(ii) 2 [10] M11. (a) moment/torque increases as moves away gains 2 marks leverage/force increases as moves away gains 1 mark 2 (b) (i) 20 gains 2 marks else working gains 1 mark 2 Page 38 of 45 (ii) 100 000 ecf gains 2 marks else working gains 1 mark 2 [6] M12. (a) evidence of moment = force × distance or 200 × 1.5 gains 1 mark but 300 gains 2 marks 2 (b) ideas that smaller than load gains 1 mark but 100 N or half the load gains 2 marks because applied further from pivot gains 1 mark but applied 2 × distance from pivot or evidence of balancing moments gains 2 marks (working for (b) shown in (a) gains credit – transfer mark) 4 [6] M13. (i) towards Earth for 1 mark 1 (ii) gravity for 1 mark 1 (iii) changes direction for 1 mark 1 (iv) polar orbit; closer for 1 mark each 2 Page 39 of 45 (v) speed constant (1) mass constant (1) for 1 mark each 2 [7] M14. (a) idea • line of action of weight/force/gravity (if drawn: a vertical line through the centre of mass) • falls outside the (wheel) base (mark NOT from diagram) for 1 mark each 2 (b) ideas that • less stable/topples more easily • centre of mass at a higher level • so need small angle to make line of action of weight fall outside (wheel) base for 1 mark each 3 (c) idea that this is the most unstable condition (when bus used) or this makes c. of m. as high as it is likely to be for 1 mark 1 [6] M15. (a) (line of action of) its weight 1 falls inside its wheel base accept ‘falls between the wheels’ the first two points may be credited by adding a vertical line from the centre of the X on the diagram (1) and labelling it weight / force / with a downwards arrow (1) provided there is no contradiction between what is added to the diagram and anything which may be written 1 (so there is) no (resultant / clockwise) moment / turning effect 1 Page 40 of 45 (b) centre of mass should be lower accept ‘… centre of gravity’ accept ‘weight / mass low down’ not just ‘lower the roof’ 1 wheel base should be wider accept ‘long axle(s)’ for ‘wide wheel base’ allow bigger / larger wheel base do not credit ‘long wheel base’ responses in either order 1 [5] M16. 300 allow 1 mark for rearranging equation or correct substitution [2] M17. (a) any two ideas: • (acceleration occurs when) the direction (of each capsule) changes • velocity has direction • acceleration is (rate of) change of velocity 2 (b) to(wards) the centre (of the wheel) 1 (c) centripetal allow minor misspellings but do not credit a response which could be ‘centrifugal’ 1 (d) the greater the radius / diameter / circumference (of the wheel) the smaller the (resultant) force (required) accept ‘the size’ both parts required for the mark accept converse 1 [5] Page 41 of 45 M18. (a) (i) centre of X directly below P and between the model aeroplanes as judged by eye but between centre of propeller of top aeroplane and canopy of bottom aeroplane example 1 (ii) the centre of mass is (vertically) below the point of suspension / P 1 the centre of mass is in the middle of the aeroplanes accept the centre of mass is level with the aeroplanes 1 (b) centre of mass of the worker and the ladder (and device) 1 line of action of the weight is inside the base accept the centre of mass is above / within / inside the base (of the ladder and device) 1 so there will not be a (resultant) moment accept so he / it / the ladder will not topple even if he leans over or it will (only) topple over if the line of action of the weight / the centre of mass is outside the base accept each point, either on the diagram or in the written explanation, but do not accept the point if there is any contradiction between them 1 [6] Page 42 of 45 M19. (a) (from present/recent) data/evidence/observations of (the rate of change in) Phobos’/the moon’s orbit (1) or appropriate example of data (1) and its correct use (1) (and) continued/extended/extrapolated (the pattern/trend for the next 100 million years) (1) example (present) distance from Phobos to Mars (1) ÷ (average) rate of approach (1) 2 (b) (it is) increasing (1) Phobos/the moon will be nearer (to Mars) (1) or the radius/circumference/diameter of the orbit of Phobos/the moon will decrease/be less only credit 2nd mark if the first mark is correct 2 (c) it will increase/be more (1) (because) Phobos/the moon will get/be closer to Mars/the planet (1) only credit 2nd mark if the first mark is correct note part(s) of this response may be included as the answer to part (b) read both before marks are awarded 2 [6] M20. (a) 560 allow 1 mark for clockwise (moments) = anticlockwise (moments) allow 1 mark for correct substitution ie 160 × 1.75 = W × 0.5 allow 1 mark for correct transformation ie 4 newtons, N 1 (c) the weight of plank which has been ignored 1 causes an anticlockwise moment which has not been considered / included in the calculation 1 [7] Page 43 of 45 M21. (a) where the mass of the object can be thought to be concentrated 1 (b) lower the C of M 1 and make the wheelbase wider 1 accept a practical description of how these changes could be achieved (c) the line of action of its weight accept a vertical arrow drawn from X 2 falls inside its wheel base accept falls between the wheels therefore there is no resultant / clockwise moment 1 [6] M22. (a) the direction of the riders is constantly changing 1 therefore the velocity of the riders is changing 1 and because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity the acceleration is changing 1 (b) to(wards) the centre (of the cylinder / rotor) 1 (b) centripetal 1 (b) it is reduced 1 [6] Page 44 of 45 Page 45 of 45
